Our Neuro - Divergent Sewing session is co-produced and delivered by members of our sewing community with lived experience of neuro- diversity.
We have quiet spaces to indulge in some slow stitching, embroidery, knitting and crochet or for the more advenurous our sewing studio will be open to use the sewing machines and studio equipment. Tutors/support is available all afternoon.
